Rationalists of East Tennessee Secular Scholarship 2024

There are many scholarships available from religious organizations for students. In contrast, RET wishes to expand the educational opportunities of secular students in hopes of helping to develop future secular leadership. In 2024, RET will award scholarship(s) to students who are enrolled full time in accredited colleges or universities and who identify as secular.

The Rationalists of East Tennessee will award up to 10 scholarships of $2200 each. The use of the funds is not restricted (i.e. you can use the money for food and rent, not just for tuition and books).

Requirements:

Resident of U.S., Canada, or U.S. territories the at time of application.

Studying full-time at an accredited college or university in Fall 2024.

Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible.

Previous recipients are eligible to apply again.

Because the scholarship is unrestricted, it is taxable income. Winners will need to provide tax information to RET prior to disbursement.

Schedule:

Applications will be accepted from February 1 to May 1, 2024; the first 100 applications received will be considered.

Winners will be chosen by July 1, 2024.

Funds will be distributed once matriculation is verified.
